--------------------------------Mac user notes below:

Note: ⚪️ You can do this in a Mac too! Instead of looking for "CMD" command window, in the Mac you will open a "Terminal" window. ⚪️ To navigate in the Mac, remember to use forward slash like in "/" instead of the backslash "\". Also because you are in a Mac, you won't navigate to a drive letter like C, D, etc. You navigate to the directory you are looking for. For example, if the files were placed in your "Documents" folder in the Mac, then at the Terminal window type "cd documents/pixel2xl" (if you name the directory like I did in the video). In here you should see your "platform-tools" directory. ⚪️ To execute the commands (example "adb devices"). In the Mac you have to execute this way: "./adb devices", you need to add "./" in the front of every command.
